Today, we want to preserve the techniques of our craftsmen while adding a touch of innovation and share something of Colombia&rsquo;s culture with the world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Our idea is to create a </strong><strong>project of solidarity&rdquo; </strong></p><p>​</p><p>Our espadrilles promote work opportunities in Colombia and the development of our society.</p><p>Handcrafts occupy a very important place in our country. The techniques are passed on from one generation to the other which results in colourful and lively products that reflect the warmth of Colombian culture.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &ldquo;Each pair of espadrilles is 100% handmade&rdquo;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/501578/Captura_de_pantalla_2018-03-30_a_la_s__2.42.20_p.m.-1522413775.png" /><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>We work with a workshop of 10 artisans located in Cali. All our products are made by adults who receive a fair salary for the valuable work they do. ​ We make sure that there are no children or underpaid people involved in our manufacturing process.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &laquo; Made from 100% local materials&nbsp;&raquo;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/500060/Captura_de_pantalla_2018-03-26_a_la_s__2.47.33_p.m.-1522068494.png" /><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&ldquo;</strong><strong>A pair of Laia espadrilles means social responsibility</strong><strong>&rdquo;</strong></p><p>​</p><p>Fairness and equality are at the very core of our business values. We feel fortunate to be able to do what we do.</p><p>It is important to us to contribute and give back somehow to society. More specifically, we are also committed to helping Colombian children through this project.</p><p>Part of our annual profit will be donated to the school Luis Horacio Gomez in Cali, in order to give scholarships to children from less advantaged families</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Supporting education is a step towards a better world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/496709/responsabilidad_Fotor5-1521131141.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ​ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&laquo;Discover Colombia thanks to Laia&raquo;</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Colombia is one of the richest countries in terms of landscapes and ecosystems. Ethnic and cultural diversity results in a wide variety of colours and shapes that are transmitted through handcrafts. Our intention is to allow our customers to discover Colombia through our brand.
